Top-Rated in Dallas For Interior Designer Receiving
Trust Element Moving and Storage
Expert Warehouse Receivers in Dallas-Fort Worth
When you’re managing a client installation, the last thing you need is freight piling up in your studio, missing pieces, or damage you didn’t catch until install day. Element Moving & Storage operates a full-service receiving warehouse for interior designers across the Dallas–Fort Worth area — so every piece is received, documented, photographed, inspected, stored, and delivered to the job site exactly when you need it.
We’re a premier white-glove provider in the Dallas market, and we understand the precision, discretion, and efficiency that luxury design work demands. From single statement pieces to full-home installations, our team executes cleanly and consistently — including receiving, staging, and installation support for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas.
Who Designer Receiving Is For
Our receiving service is built for the professionals who can’t afford surprises:
- Interior designers and design firms managing multiple active projects
- Luxury and high-end residential installations
- Showrooms and staging companies needing overflow handling
- Design-build and renovation teams are coordinating long lead-time orders
If your vendors are shipping faster than your install schedule, our warehouse becomes your staging hub — keeping every order organized under one roof until the room is ready.
What’s Included With Every Shipment
You only pay for what we handle, because pricing is structured on a per-item basis. Every shipment we receive includes:
- Receiving and labeling of each piece
- Photographing every item on arrival
- Emailing photos to you for instant visibility
- Adding items to your inventory so you always know what’s in storage
- Standard external box inspection to flag visible damage immediately
This is the difference between a receiving warehouse and a loading dock: you get a documented, photographed, inventoried record of every piece before it ever reaches your client.
The full per-item rate sheet below covers 65+ item types. Contact us for the complete pricing list and a quote tailored to your shipment.

Inspections: Recommended, and Your Call
Inspections can be waived on request. For designer shipments, however, we strongly recommend inspection so any damage or discrepancy is identified the moment a piece arrives — not on install day in front of your client.
If you choose to waive inspection, it must be waived for the entire shipment. We don’t waive inspection on a per-item basis within the same shipment.
A Few Policies Worth Knowing
- No-name receiving fee: Shipments that arrive without your business name clearly on the paperwork incur a $30 handling fee for the extra time required to identify and process the delivery. (Tip: list your business name on every PO and packing slip.)
- Storage billing: Storage is billed on the 1st of each month based on on-hand inventory, with a $150/month minimum. First and last months are prorated.
- Delivery out of storage: Scheduled white-glove delivery and install to the job site, billed at crew-based hourly rates (3-hour minimum). See storage & delivery details →
- Basic assembly of standard household items is included unless otherwise specified.
